I still can't believe that. It'll be reliving the glory through sky plus all day. Have the Drogba half hour special to watch. In 20 years we'll all be like d'ya remember that time Chelsea won the first of five!?!

monkey - I really really wish I'd quoted your post on this thread approx 43 minutes into the Barca second leg. Some turnaround since then. Future looks brightest in a long time!

Cant wait for the DVD - about time I upgraded my VHS collection from the 80/90's

I think it's took him this long to adjust, especially since he did have competition for forwards with Drogba.

Man, I don't want to think of Chelsea without Drogs next year.

But, for now CHAMPIONS!

There's a highlights show on sky sports 3 for anyone that's awake.

When I think of the feeling watching the Napoli first leg I can't believe it came to this.

One word....OUCH!!

duploelabs

as I put in the match thread and yes, it has to be that big because it's so awesome

GavRedKing

Still coming to terms with it.

Its yet tp sink in. If I was giving a Chelsea MoTM it would be very close between Mikel, Cech, Cole.

Cech saving Robbens penalty in ET was brillant so he pips it for me but everyone put it all in.

I think everyone to a man put in 100% and left it all out there.

Torres looked liked he didnt wanna take a penalty but thats his decision.

Luiz, Lamps and Cole hit excellent penalties. Drogbas winner was well deserved. If that was his last ever Chelsea game then he cpuldnt have done more for us.

Scored the equaliser, gave away a penalty and scored a winning penalty.

Drogba, if you dont sign then I'll still love ya, youve gave this club some of its best moments in our history and you owe us nothing at all.

Drogba, Chelsea FC Legend, end of.

He was excellent but I'd have to say Cole was the best player on the pitch last night, as he was at the Nou Camp.

How I look right now..



Also I expect Roman was on the phone to Drogba's agent this morning, well I hope so saying this....



Still hasn't sunk in yet TBH. So wish I was in Germany last night. As myself and my girlfriend were discussing last night we just should have went, we were talking about it after the barca game, but decided against it, money couldn't have put a price on being there last night I'd imagine!

Johner

Cole was brilliant as well, just thought Mikel did outstanding with the ball. He looked so confident on the ball, quick sharp passing and never wasted a pass.

smuckers

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Greatest night ever, my heart was thumping for the most part, it felt like extra time would never end Everyone put in a great shift Cahill and Luiz were outstanding, how good was that penno from Luiz?????
When Robben missed that penno I knew it was going to be our night.:D
What a header from Didi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the rebuilding starts, will Di Matteo get it? He deserves it but judging by Bruce Buck is being a bit edgy about it

Don't forget Bosingwa. To keep Ribery as quiet as he did for so long was remarkable. And for Luiz/Cahill to play 120 minutes like that coming back from injury. Even Malouda played like his life depended on it when he came on. Just an extraordinary performance all round. I can't understand the sour grapes from so many quarters.

The Davestator

What a day for sport and all capped off by us getting the monkey off our back!

If i was Drogba, I'd leave now because he can't improve on last night and staying for two years might lessen his legacy?

Sucking in strepsils all day!

Apparently he's under "serious consideration". If no final decision has been made, I guess that's as emphatic as he can be. I really hope he does get it, because he's demonstrated serious tactical acumen aside from the motivation he's given. Discounting the league dead-rubbers (which they were), he's got one loss on his record. Against man City. He's taken a side that were properly nosediving to two trophies, and overcome two far superior sides on paper.

Also, it bugs me that people talk about his time at West Brom as a failure. He took them up with his first season in charge, playing very good football too. He also started well. It was a bad mid-season run that led to his sacking but, unless I'm mistaken, they hadn't even slipped into the relegation zone yet. If Hodgson hadn't done so well and kept them up comfortably, it would have looked pretty silly.

Di Matteo will be coaching somewhere next season. I hope it's at Chelsea. Either way, he's a legend.

Buck has confirmed that we will sit down with Drogbas agent this week

Cole has been immense all through this tournament and given the amount of defending we've had to do he would be my player of the tournament. Delighted for him as he has given his all for Chelsea from the first day we signed him .

I know I was the same, kind of a "things money cant buy moment"

Typical, I was there through all the **** games in the 80's and 90's, saw us go down etc etc.
But hey, i got to share it with you guys!

What a pic

GavRedKing

Have to agree woth Blatter, Cole was excellent, deally showed why hes the best Left back in the modern game. Bertrand put in a good shift and really helped him to.

Torres: It’s contradictory because I feel like I’m at a peak moment in my career, with more desire and hunger than I’ve felt in a long time but I’ve had to spend the final on the bench. It was a huge disappointment when I saw the line-up, perhaps the biggest in my life.

"This season I have felt things that I never had before. I’ve felt like they treated me in a way that I didn’t expect not in the way that was spoken of when they signed me. We’ve had a lot of talks and we’ll talk about my future because the role I’ve had this season is not for me, nor is it the one I expected to play when I came here. I’m not comfortable. I want them to tell me what is going to happen in the future. Football has been fair on us, on me."

They are some of the quotes from Torres from an Interview with Balgue. There is more on his timeline. https://twitter.com/#!/GuillemBalague


He definitely didn't seem to be shy celebrating last night but you can't help but feel that this is not how he wanted to win it.

Wow, wants to be No1, but until he starts performing like Drogba and can be relied on I cant see it happening!
